WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER
The Spertseer
Coach Rip Engle was a sad and disgruntled man Saturday
following Penn State's 14-6 , defeat to Syracuse—sad that his
team lost and disgruntled with the officials. By Monday
morning most of the disappointment had worn off—but none
of his angriness with the officiating had disappeared.
"I'm sending a note to (Asa)
Bushnell, the (Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference) commission- i
er, concerning the officiating in
our game," the Ripper said. (The,
ECAC handles the appointment oi l
officials to Eastern games.) "I
know we can't do anything about
it now, but I want to avoid any-'
thing like that in the future. I
think we are entitled to know
why these things happen and
what we can do to prevent them
from happening again."
Engle did have a partial solu
tion to the above problem„ i and he
included his opinion In the Bush
nell note.
"One thing they can do." En
gle said, "is have a meeting
between the coaches, referees
and league officials after a game
such as ours. I mean, there
everything could be hashed out
—and movies could be shown to
point out the officials' mis
takes. The Sout hw es t and
Southeastern conferences do
that, and I can't see why we
don't.
"Another thing they de dawn
South," Engle continued. "is have
practice games for officials. In
the spring they put the officials
in scrimmage games, and other
officials sit -in the stands and
write up reports on them. They
also take movies to help point
out mistakes. I remember the
game we saw like that down at
Georgia Tech one year. But the
ECAC never does anything like
that. •
"I know people are saying ,
we're alibing for our loss, but
that's not true. Even with all the
penalties we still should have
beaten Syracuse. They have a
real good football team, but we
made too many mistakes. We
played a better game this year
than last year, when we beat
them, 20-12, but we got same,
breaks then. This time, they had
the breaks."
Engle had a right to complain
about the officiating as the movies
of Saturday's game bear out.
Just what did the movies of the
game prove?
Well, we saw only a part of
the flicks, but that was enough
to convince us Of the blunder
ing by Saturday's arbiters. "The
movies show apparently that

mating a number of infractions l
which they were not charged
with. One flagrant example was,
a defensive holding infraction by
the Syracuse end on halfback
flanker Bruce Gilmore in the sec
ond quarter. An official( this one
was unidentified) stood only 8 or
le yards away looking almost di
rectly at Gilmore—but no penalty
was called.
"Maybe we wouldn't have beat
en them even without the penal
ties," backfield Coach Joe Pater
no said, "but the possibility is
still there. Just as it was two
years ago when the officials
wouldn't let Milt Plum enter that
game up at Syracuse. Movies

The "illegal procedure" pen
alties were five-yarders. Once
toward the end of the third
quarter we were driving into
Syracuse territory when set
back to our own 33 for an "il
legal shift." This was especially
puzzling to the fans. It was 15
yards.
To offset the Syracuse jumping
around tactics we used a long
count. On a long count our line
men are coached to straighten up i
(come to a stand) so they can re
sume a crouching position with
more relaxation. This is not a
maneuver to pull the other team
offside and is a fairly common
(practice in football, used by many
teams including the Cleveland
Browns. It is perfectly legal as
long as there is a one second
count before the ball is snapped.
The fifteen-yard penalty was
assessed by Referee VanLengen,
who claimed that we had not
paused for the second. On another
occasion a Syracuse lineman was
drawn offside and infringed upon
our side of the ball. As is cus
tomary (Army did it four or five
times against us) several of, our
linemen plowed into their oppo
nents. The offside penalty should
be called against the first player
